LearnTT AI Centres — Trinidad and Tobago's National Digital-Skills Push for Senior Citizens

LearnTT is Trinidad and Tobago's free National Digital Skills Development Programme, run by the Ministry of Public Administration and Artificial Intelligence (MPAAI) through a network of community "AI Centres." As of its own published figures, LearnTT has registered more than 2,500 citizens across 80+ communities, 88% of them women and 59% starting with no prior digital experience; the platform reports a 4.9/5 average user rating with 95% saying they would recommend it.
Within that programme, a dedicated five-day ICT Vacation Camp in August 2024 trained more than 100 senior citizens aged 55 to 92 to use smartphones and tablets, make video calls, join online meetings, do online research, and follow basic cybersecurity precautions. Between February and April 2026, MPAAI scaled the model nationally: master trainers delivered blended in-person and online sessions across 10 AI Centres using Cisco's "Digital Awareness" and HP LIFE's "AI for Beginners" courses, reaching 621 learners (31% women) spanning seniors, adults and teenagers — a rollout also documented by the ITU Academy under its Digital Transformation Centres Initiative.
The evidence available is output-level — registration, attendance and satisfaction figures published by the Ministry and corroborated by ITU — rather than an independent outcome evaluation (e.g. measured changes in digital-skills test scores or service use after training). The programme's strength is institutional continuity: LearnTT is a standing, government-funded service, not a one-off pilot, which supports sustained reach into groups, such as older adults, that are otherwise likely to be digitally excluded.
